A tiny faerie dragon sleeping in a walnut shell bed inside it's home in a hollow tree. Where is the line between painting and illustration? Another painting drawn first in pencil and then colored over and under on the computer.

This is great!
I love the colours and the little drag is sooo cute,
the detail is amazing, only the scales must have taken hours!
Whe I look at it, I think it's obvvious how much care and effort you put into this pic

I think the picture took about two days of coloring, it's been awhile since then. But I'd never have made it through if I were shading and highlighting each scale individually."

LOL, the line between painting and illustration doesn’t exist if the illustration is a painting. However typically illustrations exist to tell a story, as in this case.

Very cute little dragon/fairy. I wonder what the feathers are for, but they are a nice addition.

Just amazing! I want to pet the little fellow. And I will tickle him with one of the feathers in his treasure trove! Nothing like the sound of a dragon giggling!
